WOLSELEY’S EMERGENCYPLUMBING CAMPAIGNSEES BRANCHES INCREASE INVENTORY Wolseley has launched an emergency plumbing campaign to help its customers complete numerous jobs in a single day. Central to the campaign, Wolseley branches are increasing their emergency plumbing parts inventory, which will see customers benefit from increased availability. Specific product groups in the campaign include toilet repairs parts and accessories, bathroom parts and accessories, traps and wastes, drainage, valves and fittings, commercial toilet parts and accessories, washers and fittings, tools and consumables plus macerators and shower pumps. In addition to increased availability of products, the campaign is also driven by improved search capabilities on Wolseley’s website, which provides a click and collect within 60 minutes service. www.wolseley.co.uk
Grant founder Stephen Grant and director, Niall Fay
Grant has announced a new partnership with the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC), in a bid to support the acceleration of the decarbonisation of residential heating. Pat Barry, CEO at IGBC said decarbonising our homes is critical to reach carbon neutrality. “As it currently stands, the residential sector accounts for about one quarter of the energy used in Ireland,” he explained. “Grant is the first heating company to join our organisation as a partner member and we are looking forward to working with them to support the decarbonisation of our built environment.” The Government Climate Action plan requires Ireland to install 600,000 heat pumps by 2030. To make the shift to heat pump technology, Grant is ramping up education of installers, architects, engineers and local authorities, offering free CPDs. www.igbc.ie / www.grantengineering.ie GRANT JOINSFORCESWITH IGBCFOR SUSTAINABLEBUILTENVIRONMENT

Gordon James has completed 40 years at the firm – a specialist division of Haldane Fisher – while Cormac Cranney and Ricky Kelly have both reached their milestone 25 years. Ricky’s career path has led him
through many roles as he progressed within the department in many branches, including the Isle of Man and setting up the plumbing department in Larne, before moving to Ladas Drive in East Belfast, where he has run the department for the last eight years. He said: “When I started with the company, we had only four branches
- we have seen steady growth in the branch network to the 17 branches we have today.” Speaking of his time at Haldane Fisher, Cormac said: “The evolving of Plumbmaster has really put Haldane Fisher plumbing and heating out there.
